Score 91/100 · Drink 2018-2028, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Mar 2016
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva occupies a good position in the Brunello quality pyramid with other wines that are very similar in style and temperament. This wine shows a slightly softer side to this powerful vintage with dark cherry, blackberry, sweet spice, leather and tobacco. What does stand out here, however, is the firmness of the wine in the mouth. The tannins are evident and young and will require a few more years of bottle aging.

Tasted blind. Impenetrable, dark ruby. Reluctant nose that is a tiny bit grubby and reductive. Would definitely benefit from decanting. Lifted, clear-cut cherry palate with plenty of acidity and firm tannins. Long. (WS)
